When using the " xfreerdp3 /u:"Your Windows Username" /p:"Your Windows Password" /v:192.168.122.2 /cert:tofu " command I can remote desktop with the viewer. The install fails because it can't do what that command does? Using Libvirt KVM, Cachyos Arch, not sure if i'm better off trying this again with the docker method? Could using the github

Can I take that to mean that you can connect to the machine by running "xfreerdp3 /u:“Your Windows Username” /p:“Your Windows Password” /v:192.168.122.2 /cert:tofu" but when you edit the winapps config to RDP_IP="192.168.122.2" you still get an error that you cannot connect to 192.168.122.124?

Im not the only one with this issue but no one has gotten replies, I saw a post with the same issue posted a few days ago on reddit

I tried it a few ways, blank initially to autodetect, and them with the ip from the computer, xrdp3 works, im able to use it to rdp in but the install fails

If you're running arch-based then testing another netcat might help as mentioned here:
https://github.com/winapps-org/winapps/issues/270

Someone else had trouble with the vm returning multiple ips and solved it here:
https://github.com/winapps-org/winapps/issues/432

And finally you could try commenting out the port check as mentioned here:
https://github.com/winapps-org/winapps/issues/260

It was netcat, thank you! They tell you to install the wrong one for arch in the steps.
